Nattyboy · 14-May-2006, 20:07

Bike broke down today..started coughing and farting and then started acting like it was running out of petrol. Pulled in..stank of petrol..and when you tried to start it, smoke came out of the silencers and fuel was spewing out of the joints in the exhaust....?? Any ideas before I go an lay into it !!!!! ?

How come you say TPS Nigel?? have u had problems with ur tps on a s4r to?

Reason I ask as mine has gone in to have tps replaced after the diagnostics said it was ok still but a test ride by mechanic confirmed summat was up.

Now tps's have been replaced but still not right so the ecu is being replaced to

in mean time i get to play on an 06' black 999 pretty cool but id like mine to run well

Hope yours is better soon Nat!

Good call Mav certainly sounds like to much fuel is getting by the injector and if its not the ECU holding it open suspect a faulty injector and as Nat has tried another ECU I can't see that its been held open .
